Yesterday morning at 7 am I checked up on one of my local Osprey families. I knew that fledgling will soon occur, and I wanted to see them once more before that becomes much more difficult. I think Mom Osprey wants her youngster to fly. At one point she flew to a dead snag 20 yards distant from the nest and spend the next 20 minutes screaming at her children!

The other fun event occurred during my bicycle ride yesterday afternoon. While cycling past McQuade Harbor I spied a wedding couple with a classic ore boat in the background. I jumped off my bike and took this photograph. Via a local Facebook group I managed to track down the wedding couple and will be delivering to them at no charge a high res, non watermarked version of the image. While their photographer certainly took great photos, it was only from my perspective across the small harbor that this pic was possible. I wanted the new couple to have the image as a wedding present.

It’s nice to see happy events in these unsettling times. As a fyi, I always carry a camera and monopod when cycling.
